I think that the fact that there's a wedding early on bodes well for Bella changing. I was worried she wouldn't become a vamp until the end, but now I'm convinced more than ever that the cover of BD is two Bellas - human Bella and vamp Bella. She is going to kick total ass and finally be the heroine we want to read about. (Just in time for her narration to end. Doh.)

At least that's what I'm crossing my fingers for.

I start to worry, but I have too much faith in SM to really be concerned. After all, only she really knows how this "really" happened...

I first imagined Jacob and the wolves crashing the wedding and phasing near the wedding cake blowing it to shreads, but now I don't think things will hit the fan anymore at the ceremony. Jacob might be watching from the woods, but I think he'll behave.

Ohhh Erin, I love your ideas, and the cover art definitely makes sense that way. I'm just glad that the wedding happens, I was secretly scared that Bella would be with Jacob and my life would be ruined (because of the quote on the inside of the special edition cover). To answer the question, I guess I don't have any theories that I really think are going to happen. I like to be surprised.

Hi, I am a friend of Kari's and I have to weigh in on this one. I read the article carefully and I don't think it actually states that they will be married. This makes me nervous. There could be a wedding that doesn't result in a marriage. Would SM do that to us?

It does make me feel better knowing that she wrote it after Twilight. The story has always been about Bella/Edward. It makes me think Jacob will be watching from the woods (perfect visual, Jill) instead of howling at the alter.

Yay! I loved everyones comments! I think the same predictions I had back when will be the same! (but then my expectations were rather small!) I'm like Jes! Marriage...sweet Vamp Sex...big battle! hehe! Having the spoiler didn't ruin everything....I'm happy they get married and it just means there will be lots of great exciting stuf AFTER that! YAY!

I think Erin is right on track with the cover art representing Bella. I was listening to some of a podcast from Twilight Theories, and they were talking about how when a pawn gets all the way to the opposite side of the board it gets to morph into a different piece from the board (so you could have two queens, etc... or it can change into a piece that has been taken) I think the cover represents Bella's change ;)
